Welding and the Difference between Mig, Tig and Spot Welder

With the passing of time, human beings have indeed made good progress in every direction. Human beings have made definitive progress in terms of living (lifestyle), invented newer technologies, progressed in the field of medicine and more; among these, one is the invention of welding processes.

Due to welding, we can join metals and manufacture things like bicycles, motorcar, motorbike, Aircraft, Ship and other types of equipments that use either steel, iron or any other metals to make its exterior body/ outer covering. Welding is also used in industries and homes, from fixing tiny things to sophisticated things. Welding is also used to connect/ join the railway tracks, which is so important today for long distance travel for the common man. It is also used in various art works.  In short, welding has gained prominence and we can't just live without it.

Here below is a brief explanation about the three types of welding namely: TIG, SPOT and MIG Welder.

MIG Welding and Where It Is Used

MIG Welding stands for Metal Inert Gas Welding. It is also known as Metal Active Gas (MAG) Welding. It is a welding process wherein an electric curve is formed in between a delicate wire electrode and the workpiece metal. In the process, it heats the workpiece metal resulting it to liquefy and bond.

At times, MIG Welding in its most universal form is referred as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). In the beginning, it was mainly used for welding aluminium. As this process had a quicker welding time than its other counterparts; it was soon implemented to steels. Later on, this process gained value due to its speed and flexibility and it was widely accepted and used in all industrial procedures.

TIG Welding and Where It Is Used

TIG welding stands for Tungsten Inert Gas Welding. It is a curve shaped welding procedure which employs a non-delicate Tungsten Electrode to generate the weld. The welding area is being secured from the environmental pollution by a stationary shielding gas (Helium or Argon), and a stuffing metal is generally used. A TIG Welder can join two unlike metals, titanium or copper. TIG welding is truly versatile for creating complicated welds; for instance welds on rounded stuffs.

Spot Welding and Where It Is Used

Usually, spot welding is applied to join metals that are formed into sheets. The thickness of these sheets varies from 0.5 to 3 millimeters. A Spot Welder can create accurate fixes without producing extreme heat that could probably distress the elements of the rest of the sheet. This is accomplished by releasing a huge amount of energy in the shortest time period so that it can produce restricted and consistent welds.
